I need to stay 10 times or 25
nights for this status (or
spend $ 30,000 on the co-branded
credit card or achieve
via American Express's Platinum
card).
Living the dream on
card rewards Those who don't know us very well may think we are living the high life, but the truth is that our $ 250 hotel room near the line of totality during the eclipse was booked for 3,000 Starwood Preferred Guest points; our flight to Wyoming was 100 percent free on a private plane thanks to a crazy JetSmarter promotion for those who could prove they had a million miles; our resort complete with water slides and a lazy river in San Antonio was booked using an annual
credit card award
night when the room normally costs $ 300 - plus per
night; our amazing room at the Park Hyatt New York was booked using 30,000 Hyatt points per
night when the selling price was almost $ 1,000 per
night; and most of our other flights were booked
via a collection of airline miles and
credit card points that were primarily earned by leveraging our everyday
spending for major rewards.
